Proposed Project

SCW would improve the quality of colorectal surgical care in Wisconsin by increasing adoption of ERAS protocols. We will provide information on previously published successful protocols so that hospitals can develop individualized evidence-based implementation strategies. Surgeons will be provided with benchmarked performance reports regarding length of stay, readmission, clinical outcomes, and costs. A collaborative approach to colorectal surgical care will allow for shared learning between surgeons and hospitals regarding strategies for overcoming barriers to ERAS protocol implementation.
